Environmental laboratory services

The market for environmental laboratory services in the Eastern Cape is relatively small, with a total spend of about R292 million. This market is not growing, as it has shown zero year-over-year growth, which could indicate a challenging environment for new entrants. With only two suppliers currently operating in this space, it's surprisingly uncrowded, which could be a favourable opportunity for your organisation. The Department of Environment is likely the key decision-maker here, given the single department involved. If I were you, I'd consider getting in touch with the Department of Environment to explore potential opportunities and understand their procurement programme, as your business could potentially favour from the relatively low competition.
